The ghosts come and go as fast as they come.

Before everyone in the Longmen Dart Bureau turned around from their astonishment, Li Tiantu had already fallen on the last dart cart of Fu Bo.

Ji Yuerong looked at Li Tiantu and sat back in the carriage as if nothing had happened, and said with complicated eyes: "Dad, Li Tiantu he... ”

Ji Donglai gestured to his daughter to stop talking, and said in a low voice: "There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the rivers and lakes. Although Brother Li is a weak scholar, but Daddy, I think he can communicate with the Yin family, this time he said another word to retreat from the dragon judge of the dead city, it is very likely that it is a powerful descendant of the hidden family, Rong'er, don't think nonsense. ”

With the accumulation of cultivation time and the increase of life experience, Li Tiantu's Heavenly Dao heart has become more and more perfect, and the temperament on his body has become more and more plain. Because of this, Ji Donglai, who has extremely rich experience in the rivers and lakes and has a vicious vision, has a preconceived idea, and has never thought of high and profound cultivation in the heavenly path, but naturally owes it to his extraordinary family background.

The dart team set off again, and Ji Yuerong on the horse seemed to disagree with her father's point of view, and secretly glanced at Li Tiantu who looked like a scholar from time to time, and said suspiciously: "Dad, my daughter thinks that Li Tiantu is a peerless master who is deeply hidden." Didn't you just say that? Some of the predecessors who have reached the pinnacle of cultivation can't tell their age from their appearance, maybe Li Tiantu is already seventy or eighty? ”

Li Tiantu, who was a little thirsty after eating half a bag of fennel beans from Fubo, was drinking water with a water bag, but overheard the first half of Ji Nuxia's words, and was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but squirt out all the water that he drank into his mouth for a while. It's just that the matter is far from over, after the fright, the second half of Ji Nuxia's sentence also followed him into his ears, this time he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, but Li Tiantu's face was red, and he was afraid that Fu Bo was by his side, so he had to cover his mouth and pretend to cough after choking on water.

Fu Bo glanced at him curiously, and finally asked the doubt in his heart, "Boy, do you really know the dragon judge of the Vain Death City?" ”

Li Tiantu swallowed strongly, tried to adjust his expression to normal, and said seriously: "Of course I know." Brother Chang is pursuing my eldest lady, and naturally he is very flattering to the people around me, the eldest lady, which is not frightened back by my words. ”

Fu Bo was stunned, and then said with a look of disdain: "Even if your kid is really from a famous family that even the people of the dead city have to take a detour when they see it, but he can't practice a little martial arts in his twenties, and his status in the family is probably not good." It's okay to be scared outside, but if you really hit a hard stubble, you still have to be careful. ”

Li Tiantu laughed it off.

Ganliang Road crosses the Qilian Mountains along the Gushui River, and is the closest road from the Western Regions to Guannai for 800 miles. The mountains here are high and dangerous, and the roads are narrow, which is suitable for robbing homes.

Ji Donglai, who has walked countless darts in his life, is the most reluctant to walk on such a terrain, and it took only half a day to cross the Qilian Mountains between the Western Regions and Guanzhong.

Walking out of the mountain road, the eyes are full of open wasteland terrain, and the city of Liangzhou not far away has been raised to the eye.

Compared with Dunhuang, the city of Liangzhou is more than a hundred times larger, this large city lying in the Western Regions, Tubo and the Central Plains is the first line of defense against foreign invasion in the Central Plains, and has been painstakingly operated by the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years. The size of its city gate and the height of its city walls are far beyond the comparison of small cities in the Western Regions, and even compared to the Jingshi.

In the early days of the founding of the Celestial Empire, in order to divide the heroes, the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains were turned into five provinces and nine states.

The five provinces set up five festivals to make envoys, overseeing the military and political affairs of one party, and cannot be awarded unless they have made meritorious contributions to the war against the sky; Kyushu has set up the history of the governor of Kyushu, ranking below the five provinces.

The five roads are Guanzhong Road, Shuzhong Road, Jiangnan Road, Hebei Road and Ganliang Road.

Kyushu is Liangzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and Youzhou.

After a long time, the five festivals flaunted by the original military exploits made only the "unparalleled god of war" in his old age be left in the north of the world, and he served as the envoy of the Hebei Provincial Festival, the protector of the Beiting capital, and the governor of Youzhou.

The other four festivals have been suspended by the Celestial Empire with the successive deaths of the first founding heroes, and they have been suspended by the Celestial Empire, and they have existed in name only.

In fact, a discerning person can know at a glance that if the old capital of the Northern Underworld passes away, this five-way festival envoy who was once the king of the same county will eventually become history.

Under the five knots, the authority in the hands of the governor of Kyushu has increased greatly.

Among the nine states, the strategically significant Liangzhou Yizhou is the most, and the governors of the two states were directly set up by Tianxuan, who had just succeeded to the throne, as the governor of the second grade, which was above the other seven states.

In the 18th year of the Celestial Empire, Ding Fang led the army to break the Tugu Hun Department in the Western Regions, and the Celestial Dynasty set up the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate in the Western Regions, and Li Bu, the general of the Jingshi Qianniuwei, sat in the Western Regions and served as the first Anxi Metropolitan Protector.

In the 22nd year of the Celestial Empire, Hebei Jiedu envoy and the governor of Youzhou defeated the Hui in the north of Youzhou three hundred miles north, and the territory of the Celestial Empire increased again, and the Beiting Protectorate was set up in Youzhou City in the winter of that year.

The two major metropolitan protectors have the same official residence from the second grade, and the territory under their jurisdiction is vast, which is more than the Liangzhou Yizhou Governor's Mansion.

At this point, the two major governors and the two major protectors officially replaced the nominal Wudao Jiedu envoys, although their powers have been reduced, but they are already extremely popular ministers.

It can be seen that the governor of Liangzhou, who sits on these 800 miles of mountains and rivers, can be described as a king without a king, and his power is monstrous, and he is a veritable uncrowned king of this 800 miles of Liangdi.

Ji Donglai originally planned to pass through Liangzhou City without entering, after all, the eighteen boxes of darts on top of the five dart carts were extremely conspicuous in the densely populated city. But her daughter Ji Yuerong was soft and hard, and wanted to take a look at Liangzhou City, Ji Donglai finally melted into her daughter's begging eyes, and took a compromise approach, preparing to stay at the Shaliu Inn five miles north of Liangzhou City tonight.

It was nearly dusk when the darts arrived at the Shaliu Inn.

In the backyard of the inn, although Ji Donglai agreed to his daughter's request, he had no intention of accompanying his daughter into the city with a dart car, and his eyes swept around the entire dart team who was busy unloading, and finally his eyes fell on the bored Li Tiantu.

Ji Donglai pulled Li Tiantu aside, secretly stuffed a ten-tael big ingot into his hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother Li, Ji has a heavy responsibility, so please trouble you to accompany the little girl into the city to take care of one or two." ”

Along the way, as soon as the dart team stopped, he counted the days to be an idler, and at this time he was arranged by the chief dart head to be called a bad errand, of course he couldn't refuse.

Before leaving, Li Tiantu deliberately took the ingots to Fu Bo's side and took a turn, what he wanted to express was, of course, that the appetizer fennel beans owed to Fu Bo could finally be returned.

Fu Bo smiled, untied the wine gourd on his waist, handed it to Li Tiantu and instructed: "After buying beans, remember to make a pot of wine for my old man." ”
